The Simple Bare Necessities feat. Gratitude & Recipes

Good Morning :hello:

Well, there are some kind folk about and no mistake

EH you were entirely right to prompt me to return those unopened vitamins to w1lks, as they allowed me to swap them no bother. I now have 'junior racing snake' vitamins in the house - watch me whizz around now! :rotfl:

DH also changed the wipes at mrL. We've not used the new ones yet, so I can't comment on whether it is just the package that has changed....

I remembered I forgot........ ....... I have set myself the target of losing 3lb in weight over the next 12 weeks, as part of my 'reboot' challenge to myself. So, i need to say what the starting point is - and I'd forgotten to mention it. So the starting point is 7 and a half.

7 and a half pounds is actually what I would need to shift to return to my pre-pregnancy weight and bmi, so I think that aiming to lose 3lb of that is an achievable target in 12 weeks - no crash-dieting needed!

And no, I ain't gonna bore you with what number is in front of the 7 and a half :rotfl: Just know that it is the weight i was, and had been for 20 yrs plus - if my medical records are accurate

Arrrgh, we've so much to do this weekend. Poor timing of things, but there you go. I wish human beings hibernated. I think I would elect for the whole of January...... :rotfl:

Tea last night was HM mozarella pizza (barginacious mozza from h3ron f00ds used) and sort of wedges. I just cut some of the king edward tatties that I got from mrL in their 19p promo in half. Used the last of the seasoned cornmeal on them - overdid it and they were a bit pants Still, done now, and eaten, so......

Mushroom curry tonight :j Probably Madhur Jaffrey's Kodava curry, but we'll see how the day pans out. The curry should be mushroom anyway, as I've 2 mrL 49p punnets to utilise

Right, coffee is drunk, Baby Greying is wriggling so I best get up and at it.

First to reply to a very kind offer, but one which I cannot in all conciousness accept........:o

Where do you get your cornmeal? Which supermarket category does it fall into?

Ah, now I buy the Natc0 brand 1.5kg bags of cornmeal from the asian supermarket in the medium sized city along. However, in the same city, MrW sell it in their 'world foods' section. Normally, it is sold in smaller packets - usually as 'instant' polenta, usually in the pasta section or mrT sells it in their carribean section as cornmeal - off the top of my head...... the brand is 'red river' in that section, I think....... If you can source an asian supermarket, they will have loads of it, branded as cornmeal - which is always significantly cheaper than when it is branded 'polenta'.

I've just looked online and mrS is showing as having it too - HERE - but I don't know if that would every store. I don't know our mrS well enough to know if they stock it. I stock up when I am in the city, as i was able to pick it up for less than £1 (expect prices have risen now ) I also have the luxury of being able to get fine or coarse cornmeal, which you can use for different dishes.

I can't remember what the FN advert was for, I just remember seeing a woman on a step ladder taking a pic of food with a phone, and something about 'social climbing' or something.
